Lately I feel like more and more people have been reading and praising Monstress and I couldn't be happier.
I feel like this series is one which might bring more readers into the world of comics.
The plot in this issue had me wondering if we would finally get answers in the next issue. Maika's character has really been made to wait for the answers she seeks for the bulk of this series & now that she seems to have a firm grasp on her predicament I think its time for the answers.
The flashbacks to Maika's childhood with her mother have added a whole new layer to this story, and to Maika, and I am interested in how it will play into whatever the ultimate end of this series will be.
Our little fox got quite a bit of character development and even the Monstrum within seems to have a solid personality now.
The change in setting from land to open ocean in issues #8 and #9 has allowed for some great changes in the art and color, but issue nine included a few flashbacks & scenes of elsewhere that were particularly eye catching.
I even posted a shot of the opening page on my Instagram because the colors were just--woah!
The members of the crew seem to be the most tangible of side characters in the series thus far, and have been a good addition to the story.
As always I am extremely impressed with Takeda's ability to make these characters look beautiful and formidable at the same time. I, as the reader, take them seriously and believe that they exist in this world without any other convincing. Seeing the Siren actually made my skin crawl.
